September Exhibit - Michael Bruno Photography

This show is a combination of multiple ongoing projects I’ve been working on since returning to San Francisco from Kings Beach in early 2023. From my bar series to North Beach and Chinatown street scenes to my more classic shots of iconic landmarks, I’m excited to have a variety of my work at the Pier 23 Cafe Restaurant & Bar.

The Mystic Urban Waterfront - New Works by Yasmin Lambie-Simpson

Yasmin Lambie-Simpson’s show "The Mystic Urban Waterfront” marks the first art opening at Pier 23 Cafe in too many years, a return of art to this waterfront joint of lore. Immersed in a self-directed art retreat, Yasmin has been exploring and creating new work inspired by her specific location on San Francisco’s still hardworking and very urban Islais Creek.

ART OPENING - Yasmin Lambie - Simpson

Thursday, June 6, 2024

5 pm - 8pm

Pier 23 Cafe Restaurant & Bar

San Francisco, CA

Our urban waterfront has an inseparable importance and presence in the life of this City and its residents. And that includes Pier 23 Cafe. Yasmin’s work takes a specific look at that part of our marine landscape that crosses Third Street just before Evans Avenue.

As a waterfront bar and restaurant since its very beginning, Pier 23 Cafe is thrilled to display this art inspired by another neighborhood on the City’s waterfront. This is the first exhibition at Pier 23 Cafe’s newly minted, Waterfront Gallery. Stay tuned for upcoming art shows.
